Ways to Ruin a Job interview
It's been a while since the last X ways to Y, so we figured we were due.

Nice to see an X ways to Y again, and a thanks for a early uptime on the video! i was beginning to worry about there not being a Sam Raimi. I liked that in the beginning scene you made the X ways to Y music sound like it was the background music of the store. Well done.

Beautiful job!
I unfortunately do have to echo the comments that the vid was just a tad long, but all the jokes were well-executed. Plenty of giggles from up North.
The "Prior Experience" one really had me laughing - Excellent framing with Matt constantly in the exact same spot in the frame between scenes.
Really, just excellent use of Matt. Again.

It's great to see another X Ways to Y!
Even in it's new format, I thought it was good. I liked the style of it, and that you guys varied it a little so it wasn't the same old format, but I actually quite like how the other X Ways to Y were done. The paper/checks works very well in this skit, but I honestly prefer the old way of freezing the frame, *ding* <Caption>, playing it again. I missed the *dings* the most, I'd say, the interruptions of the paper weren't really too bad. Bring back the *dings*!
Also, like said before, 4:40 just killed me. I realize you probably tried to avoid it, but blech :X
PS: the sound editing at the beginning was VERY good. Is it an effect in Final Cut Pro/Soundtrack, or did you guys go ahead and bring a CD Player into the office with the X Ways to Y song? Either way, I liked it a lot.

I've never been a real fan of the X ways to Y and I cant say this did much to change my mind.
Something about the predictability of most of the jokes, they just didn't seem very original or clever.
Although I did like the acting and the fact that you went out of your way to not give Nate a speaking role (by way of hand gestures in the opening dialog)

Another fine X ways to Y in my book! I was on the brink of giggling the entire time (manly giggling, mind) and the Sam Raimi just made me lose it.
I especially loved Nathan's facial expressions every time something went wrong and he checkmarked it on his clipboard. So very subtle, but his subdued nonchalance made everything even more hilarious.
A strong and thoroughly enjoyable video! Thanks for another week of silly grins and laughter!

This is probably the most active I've ever seen Matt. I approve.
Nathan also performed well, as others have noted. An all-around excellent effort. The theme music-turned-Musak was also very funny and subtle.
Was Graham wearing the pink shirt again? What is it with corporate environs and that shirt?

I require a dance of intellect. Put on your thinking shoes!
